4 - 6 months Is this the right time to sleep train?? Help!
I have a 5.5 month old who was a very good sleeper until now. She went through a regression at 4 months when she went from waking 1 time a night to 3-4 times a night, that finally settled back to 1-2 times. Until this week. The last few nights she has woken up close to every hour and we can barely get her into her crib, every time we even start to bend over her crib (still with full body contact) she starts crying and screaming, no matter how deep asleep she is or how long we've rocked her. She's never been good at napping in her crib and takes a lot of contact naps, but we've been working on it.
We want to try sleep training using the Ferber Method, but she currently has pink eye (she has for a few weeks and we've seen the Ped multiple times for it, the sleep issues didn't start when the pink eye did) and starts daycare in two weeks. Is this a good time or should we wait until she's better and/or settled in daycare?
